About the Chonk Tribe

Hey, I’m Andy — or as most people know me online, Mr Chonk.

In May 2025, I started documenting my real-time weight-loss journey on YouTube.
I wasn’t sharing a “transformation after photo.”
I was sharing the during — the daily walks, the gym sessions, the food, the ups and downs.

Over time, a community started forming around it.
People who were on the same path — trying to get healthier, stay consistent, and keep a sense of humor through it all.
That’s when the idea for Chonk Tribe really clicked.

Why I started making my own clothes.

As someone over 400 lbs, I always struggled to find clothes that fit right and felt like me.
Everything was either plain, oversized, or just there to hide behind.
So I decided to make something different — clothes that make you want to show up.
Pieces that actually bring you a little joy, that you can wear proudly whether you’re out walking, hitting the gym, or just reminding yourself that you’re doing something about it.

What Chonk Tribe stands for.

Chonk Tribe isn’t about before-and-after pictures.
It’s about being in the middle of the story and still showing up.
It’s about progress, patience, and finding pride in the small wins.
And honestly — it’s about feeling like you belong, even if you’re still figuring it out.

How it works.

Each product is made on-demand through trusted partners, embroidered or printed with care.
That means no waste, no bulk stock, and no massive company behind it — just me, building this step by step with the community that helped me start.

Where it’s going.

This first drop is just the beginning — a small, festive launch that represents where I am right now.
As I keep moving forward, I’ll keep improving the quality, expanding the range, and hopefully creating pieces that help more people feel good in their own skin.
